Saturdays, January 12 – February 16, 2019
2:00–4:30 p.m. (six sessions)
All classes meet at Literary Arts, 925 SW Washington.
Instructor: Zulema Renee Summerfield
This workshop is ideal for writers with an early draft of a story or an idea for a story. We’ll take in-depth looks at basic elements of craft, from plot and dialogue to setting and voice, exploring ways to weave these elements into your work. Share your stories in a supportive, creative workshop setting, with an eye towards exploratory revision and eventual publication.
Q: Who do you recommend this class to?
Zulema: This class is great for fiction writers who are seeking community, structure, and encouragement. Some writers come with stories already written that are ready for feedback and review; others come because they haven’t written in a while and are eager to jump back in.
Check out this blog post with Zulema which includes more answers to questions about the class.
